This song is musically and thematically related to an earlier tune from an older album called "house of strangers." That song was a plea from one partner to another about a marriage that was failing. This song comes when it becomes obvious that…

i just want to push through but i keep seeing your favorite foods. i can't get you out of my head so i bring up some sweet epitaph and when i said i would love you forever i meant it but now i also love someone else and i need to stop living…

life is always better with a little bit of tension. i think that we will make good friends because my life’s complex and you’re already taken.

you take me as is you don't mind a work in progress you say my flaws make me attractive you take me as is (thank you wikipedia)

I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.

i'm not afraid of being alone i just like the company in a forest with no one around tears are dry and wounds don't bleed

cheating is the main way bad communicators chose to end it and since we’re not taught to talk it is an epidemic

Another free jam, stream of consciousness type thang

One of only two tracks on the album where loops were used more than instruments, or at least as much.

Track from my RPM Challenge album of 2010(I changed it up a little!) This is the final installment of the Fear Trilogy. I had originally intended to have a 4 part trilogy because that's the way to do it but time time time... This, like Home Alone…

A track from my 2010 RPM album. This is the 2nd installment of the Fear Trilogy.

Another track from 2010 RPM Album. This is the first track in the Fear Trilogy. I wish I had the time to edit it down a bit more but I still think it would make great background music for a haunted house display or Halloween party...

3rd track for 2010 RPM Challenge. This song has been kicking around for well over a decade but was never recorded.

First song from my 2010 RPM Challenge entry Revelations Per Moment.

Album: The End of Happy Endings Year: 2010 (RPM) Written by: Marc Poirier

Contains language. This, or at least the second part of it, was originally going to form part of a comedy opera I would never have finished in a million years. Couldn't resist putting it on here. I don't normally write out my lyrics, but…

Every silver lining has a Cloud

I miss the smell of your hands Your breath The feel of your skin We didn’t have to talk Just understood What the other was We are of the same But we knew The end would come Time is no friend We are not healed The pain is old But feels new…

This was made with the help of the dinosaur-obsessed Laura Turner who wrote the lyrics, and Chris Harrison who played the blistering guitar solo \m/

written and recorded for rpm 2010.

You’re taking me down Breaking me down again Circling around Spinning toward the bottom It’s a place we know Where we always go We can’t get lost We know the way Do we crave the dark Long for misery Embrace the end To only rise again

An anthemic rocker to close the show.

Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.

Like a Persian rug, only less cosy on the feet. Watch out for shamanic encroachings!

One serious track. It's not like me at all, but there it is.

Fun, Spacey, and *nearly* Infinite :)

I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…

This is my submission for Akron/Family's "Woody Guthrie's America" Project. [WOODY PROJECT 2.0](http://akronfamily.com/woodyproject/woody2/Woody_v.2.0/New_Home.html)

eeeek last minute songs still arriving ....

The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.

An old Blues - you coming or staying?

Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times. This is the one act musical version. I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.

Low-frills bass and piano piece. Not my usual fare (whatever that is), but still fun to create.

A silly song questioning the value of using songs to get a message across. Just say 'sorry' - don't write me an opera about it. Incidentally the note choices in this song really did hurt me. New lies Written like you cared for me A…

Written for the "My First Sing-A-Long Dictionary" RPM 2010 project. See myfirstdictionary.blogspot.com/ Daddy's away Posted abroad Sending home pay All he can afford Mummy pretends But I notice that something has changed The letters…

A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them. You've been managing expectations Consultations end in tears Even if you're optimistic…

Lorelei reaches her breaking point after years of abuse — via a failed attempt at an homage to Ennio Morricone (had he been Mexican).

Just a fun song for RPM 2010.

So I just figured out that the EXS24 sampler instrument in Logic Pro (the DAW I use) can also import SoundFont2 files, which I happened to have a bunch of from a previous life as a Cakewalk user. All the tracks in this tune were played using old…
